Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the feasibility of the development of urban transport and technological systems through the development of Programs for the integrated development of transport infrastructure (PIDTI). PIDTI, being one of the many regulatory documents for urban development, is intended to create some kind of a planned basis for this development. The problem is that during the development and subsequent practical implementation of this strategic document, trends in changes in the lifestyle of citizens, potential ways of their livelihoods, financial and economic support, and just the stylistic features of public and private life are not taken into account. PIDTI developers often assume that in 20 years, the life of the city will be exactly the same as today, only all of its characteristics will increase quantitatively by 20-150% (depending on the strategy option). The works of such serious researchers as S.B. Pereslegin refutes this opinion. The experience of automobilization of Russian cities also speaks about this. Today, PIDTI performs the function of the ITS General Plans of cities of the Soviet period. In this regard, the issue of the ability of PIDTI to solve the problems of the functioning of a city as a living social and technological organism in future periods becomes very serious. The article discusses this issue at the intersection of the opinions of professionals and city residents.

Background. Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) is an Indian community-centric government program organized under Anganwadi centres catering to supplementary nutrition, health and preschool education, primary healthcare, growth monitoring and counselling the children under six years old along with their mothers. It is the world’s largest outreach program in a developing country covering a population of 1.35 billion; the variations in service delivery were analysed involving cross-sectional rural and urban Anganwadi centers in New Delhi.
Methods. Data were collected by assessment of children and mothers, interview of Anganwadi workers and observation of service delivery parameters and conduction of activities. Infrastructural, beneficiaries, services and content were evaluated by a suitable pre-tested questionnaire based on the National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development (NIPCCD) evaluation proforma. The data was analysed by a descriptive statistics.
Results. Gaps were found in respect of infrastructure, resources, health and nutrition facilities especially at rural Anganwadi centre which was inadequate in terms of implementation of nutrition and health program, supplementary nutrition, preschool education and nutrition rehabilitation centre for existing beneficiaries. Both Anganwadi centres were not catering for new WHO growth standards and adolescent health.
Conclusions. Gaps found in respect of infrastructure, resources, health and nutrition facilities can affect performance of ICDS program and the services delivered by Anganwadi centres, which need a boost. Both urban and rural centres have a direct opportunity towards delivering adolescent health program focusing on nutrition and education of girls prior to their pregnancy, and adoption of new WHO growth standards.

The implementation of green infrastructure (GI) in Indonesia accelerated by public awareness of the importance of conservation of natural resources and ecosystems. One of the Indonesian government’s efforts to apply the principles of GI in urban areas in a structured and massive manner is through the Green City Development Program (P2KH) Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR). The approach taken is Green Planning and Design, Green Open Space, Green Energy, Green Water, Green Waste, Green Building, Green Transportation, Green Community. The city that is the case study for discussion is Jakarta. Jakarta Smart City, Green Buildings, Urban Agriculture, and Child Friendly Integrated Public Space (RPTRA) are programs that successfully implemented. The implementation GI program easily accepted if based on the community.

Full textAbstract:
The renovation program is designed to solve a complex of problems of the city, the priority of which is a comfortable ratio of building density and developed infrastructure. The draft regional standards for urban planning has been developed for a pragmatic and at the same time comfortable layout of buildings (urban blocks) with an infrastructural core. Nevertheless, such an approach contains a number of administrative risks that can be minimized by carrying out proper planning and execution within a scheduled time frame. To improve planning accuracy, it is possible to use a system-organized block diagram consisting of integrated resettlement units. To select the optimal relocation option, it is important to carry out a multivariate analysis.

Full textAbstract:
In 2005 the Canadian federal government initiated a New Deal for Cities and Communities. The program, which involved bilateral agreements with provincial governments, promised substantial funding to municipalities to promote integrated community sustainability through capacity building and infrastructure renewal. We evaluate the content of sustainability plans and the processes that produced them in one region: Atlantic Canada. The findings suggest that although the state mandate and funding resources produced a large number of sustainability plans, changing national political priorities and local desperation for economic and population growth undermined the program’s initial commitment to and potential for environmental and social sustainability.

Background: ICDS is an integrated program intended for Maternal and Child Care which adopts a holistic, lifecycle approach. Its main focus is on health, nutrition and education. Urban ICDS caters to the vulnerable urban slum population. Despite the program running for four decades its impact on its beneficiaries is still slow. The Anganwadi worker and helper are the grass-root functionaries running this program through Anganwadi centre. Hence this study was conducted to assess the functioning of the Anganwadi centre. Methodology: A Descriptive Cross-sectional study was conducted at all 15 urban-ICDS Anganwadi Centres of Khopoli during September-November 2019. The Anganwadi workers and helpers were interviewed regarding their sociodemographic details, knowledge and challenges perceived to run the centre. Observational Checklist designed based on guidelines and standard proforma for monitoring of the ICDS projects was used to assess infrastructure, equipment and registers. Results: Out of 14, 11(78.57%) Anganwadi workers had more than a decade experience. Indoor space of 600 sq.ft was available in 7(46.67%) centres. Toilets with running water were available in 9(60%) Anganwadi Centres and 6(40%) were linked to the school. Functional Salter’s weighing scale was available in 11(73.33%) Anganwadi centres. All 12 registers were available in 9(60%) Anganwadi centres. The utilization of services by pregnant women was the highest. Partially immunized children were present in 2(13.33%) Anganwadi centres. The service gap was highest (100%) with health check-up. Conclusions: There is a gap in the availability of infrastructure and utilization of some services. Keywords: urban ICDS, Maharashtra, Service gap.

The purpose of the article is to review the theoretical foundations and practical examples of investor assessment with an integrated approach to the development of urban infrastructure. The article analyzes the conditions for reducing the investment costs of projects. For this purpose, methods of clarifying the conceptual apparatus, classification, systematization and an integrated approach are used. The significance of an investment project depends on its positive influence on at least one of the external or internal markets: material and financial products, services and labor, on the social environment and the environment. Examples are provided of the impact on urban planning and the ecology of the urban landscape of investment projects in the field of tourism in recent years, implemented at the expense of the Federal Target Program “Development of domestic and inbound tourism in the Russia for 2011-2018.” in Sarapul, Barnaul and Cherepovets. The authors conclude that in the examples cited there is a relationship between the risk tolerance of the project and the complexity of the approach to its implementation, and as a result, the amount of investment. Large projects are designed not only to solve specific problems of the investor, regions, economy, state and society, but also ensure the profitability of the state budget at various levels, create new jobs, ensure GDP growth in the country and investment in various sectors, create conditions for the development of the country’s regions. The narrowly focused investment projects are fraught with great risks for the investor due to the selectivity and limited scope of the manifestation of effects.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The Integrated Childhood Development Services (ICDS) scheme is India’s foremost program imparting comprehensive and cost-effective services to meet the multi-dimensional needs of children. Following a populist approach, the program has now increased its umbrella coverage to reproductive age, pregnant and lactating women. The impact of such development and existing program performance remain debatable due to the paucity of evaluation research.Methods: A mix-methods descriptive case study was done using adapted ICDS monitoring tool in a pre-identified slum. The slum was purposely chosen for its intensive habitation of the poor and marginalized population. Primary data were collected through personalized interviews with program staff, health functionaries, and community representatives. Secondary data were collected from records available at Anganwadi centre (AWC). The data were triangulated and analyzed with results being expressed in narrative, simple proportions and percentages.Results: The mean coverage of ICDS services was 58.3%. Maximum coverage recorded for Supplementary Nutrition (SN) and minimal for Nutrition and Health Education (NHE). SN, immunization, Pre-school education (PSE) and growth monitoring (0-3 years) were regularly held. Maternal and child health services were unsatisfactory. Poor community perception reported for AWC and ICDS services with exception of SN.Conclusions: Present case study unveils poor infrastructure, coverage and community participation for ICDS services. Immunisation and referral networking is often dysfunctional reflecting the need for enhanced intersectoral cooperation. Adapted tools could serve as an effective strategy for evaluating and facilitating need-based improvements.

Based on the use of statistical information from various organizations, an assessment of the state of the urbanized territories has been performed on a set of indicative indicators. To this aim, a method of complex estimation based on the representation of states of objects through a combination of values of indicators and joint events of their simultaneous observation, as well as on the establishment of empirical distributions of such events was proposed. The application of the method allowed to propose calculated dependencies for the ranking of objects. Specifi c examples show that based on the proposed method, a comparative assessment of urban areas is possible. The obtained results can be used in the formation of goals and the development of measures to ensure a balanced development of urban infrastructure, as well as in the development of urban development programs and management decisions in the fi eld of environmental safety of urban economy.

This study analyzes Kampung Improvement Program (KIP) implementation and its impact on social life in Semarang between 1978-1988 periods. The KIP program is considered successful in building and managing slum settlements in Semarang. The success of Semarang in implementing this program makes it as a pilot project for the arrangement of two cities in Southeast Asia, namely Manila and Bangkok in 1987. This study emphasizes the use of government documents and newspapers to analyze KIP implementation progress in Semarang in the period of 1978 and ended at 1988. The program implementation was divided into two major stages, KIP Urban III and KIP Urban V. From KIP program, various physical infrastructure to support basic needs, such as toilets, clean water networks, sanitation, and road paving have been built. In its development, the KIP implementation brings a new face to Semarang towards slum villages, decreases the social pathology of the communities, and develops social groups, such as empowering Integrated Health Service Port (Posyandu) and Family Welfare Program (PKK). KIP Urban III was able to complete the construction of 21 villages, while in KIP Urban V there were 35 villages, bringing the total number of 56 villages developed.

Full textAbstract:
Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) can support decision-makers in constructing more sustainable plans, programs, and policies (PPPs). To be more coherent with new frontiers of sustainable cities, PPPs need to include conservation objectives and to increase ecosystem service (ES) strategies. The ES concept is not intrinsic to the SEA process; therefore, it is necessary to develop an approach and methodology to include it. In this paper, we propose a methodology to integrate the concept of ecosystem services in all phases of the SEA process for a sub-urban plan, including the design of mitigation measures. The case study is represented by a peri-urban development plan in the municipality of Gallipoli in South Italy, characterized by a strong tourism economy and valuable agro-ecosystems. The analysis shows the priority ecosystem services that are selected considering the sustainable development and environmental goals, the context of referment, and the aims of the peri-urban plan. After, we highlight the potential ecosystem services developed considering the design of mitigation actions like green infrastructure, which could be implemented in the peri-urban plan. The capacity to develop green infrastructure in SEA processes can configure the SEA as a tool for ecological urban design that is integrated with urban planning. This requires the ability to transfer ecological and planning theories into practical actions and the capacity of different disciplines to work in a transdisciplinary approach.

The Plan for the City, can be defined more like an operative program than a plan. In his criteria it is possible to identify a systemic, synergistic and sustanaible approach. The approach was that to define a method to integrate the time with economic and social factors, defining a more large concept of sustainability. The path has involved local stakeholders to understand their need, even often conflictual, between public and private, translating them into selection criteria and go on to apath of selection of actions. These actions will follow on iter on Public - Private partnership, three goals: to decrease public costs, to create a new push effect on investments, to encourage the private stakeholder on process of urban transformation.

The article analyzes the master plan for the development of Volgograd, which defines the main directions of urban development of the city, developed a comprehensive urban zoning of the territory. According to the socio-economic and territorial prerequisites for the reconstruction of the city, a program of priority townplanning measures has been established. The main goal of the urban development of the city is to preserve and increase the architectural, spatial, historical, cultural and landscape identity of the city, creating for the population and future generations favorable for life, a safe and diverse urban environment. The General plan is made to implement the functions of Volgograd both a center of region and considering the close relationships with the cities and settlements within the zone of its direct influence. It is the basis for the development and implementation of long-term and priority programs for the development of urban infrastructure, conservation and development of natural areas, reconstruction of residential and industrial areas, development of public, business and cultural centers, tourism and recreation facilities, integrated landscaping, urban planning projects. The location in the most attractive Volga strip a severe large industrial enterprises, complicating the environmental situation, is a serious obstacle to the harmonious development of Volgograd. The gradual liberation of the Volga riverbank from production functions and their replacement by public-residential and recreational ones is one of the most urgent modern tasks of Volgograd. For such a long city as Volgograd, the development of transport infrastructure is vital. It is the good connectivity of all areas is considered the basis of urban sustainability and the integrity of the urban organism. In the General plan, the development of transport infrastructure is considered from the position of both external and internal transport. the Master plan is focused on the maximum possible disclosure of the existing potential of the Volgograd transport hub, strengthening its role as one of the largest hubs of Federal importance. There are many measures aimed at the development of external transport links. Much attention is paid to the development of inbound tourism. The main objective of the policy in the field of tourism is to create a modern highly efficient and competitive tourist product on the territory of Volgograd.

Full textAbstract:
Today, in the 21st century within the context of the neoliberal market, architecture has become a tool of capital, demanding minimal investment with maximum spatial and environmental performance. Permanent changes that follow the rapid development of an information-based society imply an infrastructural take on the architectural composition, which has become increasingly programmatically unstable and market driven. Therefore today, an architectural composition traditionally understood as a set of part to-whole relations on three basic levels: form, function (program and its performance) and structure, can be perceived through the relations between volume, program range and infrastructure (which integrates the structural and performative aspects). Beginning with the hypothesis that socio-economic changes alter the conceptions of infrastructure in the design process, and understanding ways to transform the architectural composition, a set of key historical moments and relations are established between the development of: architectural tools and methodologies, norms and policies of spatial and energy efficiencies, and understanding infrastructure as an omnipresent element within the architectural composition. In urban design and architectural design, two terms can be distinguished: infrastructural ground - a term that brings infrastructure closer to the architecture scale, and infrastructural tenets, which are methods in the design process used to evaluate the spatial efficiency and the capacities for programmatic change, determining the relation between transformations within the design process and those of a completed project. Therefore, a new design approach is needed to define the capacities of programmatic transformations that can follow different models: flexibility, performativity and process, while maintaining the optimal spatial efficiency. The research showed that the choice of a transformational strategy depends on the program and envelope typologies to determine a project-specific infrastructural tenet - the layout of infrastructural elements which is located and quantified using the basic spatial efficiency parameters and indicators. As a launching point for further research, a theoretical matrix is proposed for four envelope typologies and three dominant program typologies, followed by a list of basic spatial efficiency parameters to loosely describe their infrastructural layouts.

Full textAbstract:
Most major cities in Ukraine are experiencing widespread use of neoliberal approaches in urban planning and governance. These approaches are focused on economic priorities and the accumulation of capital by individual government-private coalitions both for new urban projects and practices of modifying urban space in areas of existing development. They ignore the needs of the local people, who, in turn, do not have a deep awareness of their importance and role in making management decisions regarding urban development. Simultaneously with the application of neoliberal urban practices, some integrated urban development projects are being implemented in a number of cities or districts of cities of Ukraine within the framework of international technical assistance and exchange programs. They provide opportunities for all segments of society to understand the consequences of decision-making in a particular area. These efforts increase the importance of this research task which aims to analyze the processes of public participation in urban decision-making and the formation of integration in new local and multi-family residential housing development in Kyiv where there is no involvement in international cooperation in integrated urban development. The authors consider these issues using the example of the new “Liko-Grad” residential development. Our working hypothesis examines the dominance of neoliberal urban practices prevailing in such areas. The results of a survey of residents, conducted in 2018 and 2020, raises issues related to integrated development, the inclusiveness of urban space and the extent of involvement of residents in decision-making related to housing and urban landscape. These results as well as expert analysis of open-source data about the development, help to understand that the residential complex “Liko-Grad” which was built by a developer based on neoliberal management decisions. The potential residents were unable to participate in the decision-making process on building and planning the infrastructure. Today, in the process of community formation, residents reveal they are somewhat satisfied with the level of landscaping and are taking the first steps to address certain issues as evidenced by their active participation in social networks and some non-systematic landscaping activities and other small projects within the public budget. The survey also revealed low levels of job opportunities, social infrastructure, poor street infrastructure, and public transport needs as well as a low level of urban inclusion. These results, together with the lack of business activities and function, do not enable the residents of “Liko-Grad” to become a multifunctional urban space according to the integrated approaches designed for this space. We conclude that the path of Ukrainian cities to participatory democracy is just emerging; it requires a deep awareness of local communities of its importance of such efforts and also incorporating management decisions which affect the interests of all residents.

Background: The integrated childhood development services (ICDS) scheme, launched on 2nd November 1975 is India’s foremost program imparting comprehensive and cost-effective services for children and maternal health through designated anganwadi centers (AWCs). AWCs deliver services right at the doorsteps of the beneficiaries to ensure their maximum participation.Methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive study conducted in 37 AWCs of the urban area in Kathua district from March to May 2019. A checklist was used to assess the physical infrastructure of AWC and logistics available.Results: A total of 37 AWCs were visited. Majority of the AWCs (94.5%) were running in a rented building and had only room. and 86.4% have pucca type of center. Almost half (51.3%) of the anganwadi workers had >10 years of experience. 32.4% of the AWWs received education up to 12th standard. Weighing machines were available in 89.1% of the centers whereas Salter weighing machine was present only in 23 centers.Conclusions: Present case study unveils deficiencies in infrastructure and logistics at the centers. Emphasis should be given to strengthen the basic infrastructure of AWCs which would further help in delivering quality services to the beneficiaries.

Modern approaches to urban planning assume the dualistic nature of urban green infrastructure (GI). On the one hand, green infrastructure is as an integrated network of natural and semi-natural areas, featuring a delivery of various benefits to humans. On the other hand, GI is multifunctional and provides the residents by complex of ecosystem services to be user-oriented. Most official reports and programs use common indicators that do not characterize distribution, dynamics or state of GI. In our research, we assessed the quality of GI in 15 largest Russian cities by using an integrated assessment of 13 indicators that make up three groups: the ones 1) characterizing general GI availability; 2) supporting a comfortable urban environment («recreational indicators»); and 3) forming a stable ecosystem («integrity indicators»). The cities were ranked by values of every indicator from 1 to 15 and then the results were summed and normalized to get a total mark (max. 100). To assess the development of GI elements of each group, we also ranked cities separately by values of different groups indicators. Thus, our study revealed that satisfactory marks for both recreational and integrity indicators have Ufa, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Ekaterinburg, Perm and Voronezh. In contrast, Saint Petersburg, being a densely built-up city in an auspicious natural zone, got the worst result. According to the final assessment, the quality of green infrastructure in Krasnoyarsk, a large industrial city, and four cities from the steppe zone (Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Omsk, Novosibirsk) is also unsatisfactory. Our method does not cover all GI aspects (like vegetation health) and since it is based solely on remote sensing data and statistics data, there is definitely a room for improvement. However, this method, while being relatively quick and simple to accomplish, allows to assess not only general availability of GI, but its quality and distribution as well, which are essential for urban spatial planning.

Introduction. The paper substantiates the relevance of the development of regional transport strategies, which are basic for the implementation of organizational, technical and economic solutions aimed at the reorganization of modern urban and regional transport systems. Moreover, it is indicated that the development of strategies should be accompanied by a comprehensive and coordinated survey and modeling of transport systems, including within the framework of the regional programs of integrated development of transport infrastructure, projects for the creation of integrated traffic management schemes, as well as integrated schemes of transport services to the population. The aim of the research is to formulate the tasks consisting the proposals at the coordination of all the above and other programs that ensure long-term planning, continuity of decisions and budget savings directed to the development of transport in the regions.Materials and methods. Methods of system analysis, theory of transport systems, as well as methods that are widely used in the community of transport engineers, including various options for calculation and experimental methods of transport planning and modeling of transport systems for the city or agglomeration, are used to solve the research problems.Results. Based on the information synthesis of the stages of regional transport strategies development, a sequence of actions is proposed, leading to the required methodological and organizational approaches, with which it is possible to perform the solution of the strategic task. The authors formulate a list of major programs that need to be addressed at the level of regional ministries (departments) or departments of transportation municipalities with the goal of implementing transport strategies and aligning them with projects noted above. Discussion and conclusions. The main result of this work is the conclusion about the feasibility of rational actions of regional and municipal transport governing bodies, which could be planned within the framework of regional (municipal) transport strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Use of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) to mitigate urban runoff impacts has grown substantially in recent decades, but municipalities often lack an integrated approach to prioritize areas for implementation, demonstrate compelling evidence of catchment-scale improvements, and communicate stormwater program effectiveness. We present a method for quantifying runoff reduction benefits associated with distributed GSI that is designed to align with the spatial scale of information required by urban stormwater implementation. The model was driven by a probabilistic representation of rainfall events to estimate annual runoff and reductions associated with distributed GSI for various design storm levels. Raster-based calculations provide estimates on a 30-m grid, preserving unique combinations of drainage factors that drive runoff production, hydrologic storage, and infiltration benefits of GSI. The model showed strong correspondence with aggregated continuous runoff data from a set of urbanized catchments in Salinas, California, USA, over a three-year monitoring period and output sensitivity to the storm drain network inputs. Because the model runs through a web browser and the parameterization is based on readily available spatial data, it is suitable for nonmodeling experts to rapidly update GSI features, compare alternative implementation scenarios, track progress toward urban runoff reduction goals, and demonstrate regulatory compliance.

Sustainable innovative development of territorially production complexes (TPC) is viewed as a single modular system based on a multifactor analysis of alternatives, ensuring a balance of interests of all subjects of investment, construction and production activities, can be ensured by the use of an improved mechanism for selecting alternatives in The reorganization and project management of industrial renewal projects. The carried out analysis of the evolution of program-target models of urban TPC development showed the existence of a stable trend of shifting the targets towards innovative development that form production chains of the full cycle. Typical characteristics of urban TIC that affect the development and implementation of integrated reorganization projects are singled out. It is proposed that existing urban TPC, subject to reorganization, be considered in the context of the theory of poles (points) of growth of Fr. Perru in view of the correspondence of their key characteristics (geographic location, availability of existing production infrastructure, etc.) The proposed approach to the justification of alternative management modules for the development of the TPC is formalized in the form of the objective function of the Pareto multicriterion optimum of multidirectional private target parameters reflecting various types of efficiency of the project solution compliance with critical constraints.

The design of transport systems within the framework of programs for the integrated development of urban infrastructure is a cascading model that includes the stages of the analysis of target functions; monitoring of transport infrastructure; forecast transport demand; modeling of development scenarios; development, performance evaluation and verification of investment projects. To reduce resource costs, designers use a variety of hardware and software systems, the degree of security of which, their inherent advantages and disadvantages were identified during a statistical survey of employees of road facilities. According to the results of the study, to automate the collection of traffic characteristics at the monitoring stage, a software product was developed and patented to interpret a static image of a satellite image from online resources into the dynamic characteristics of traffic flows (speed, density, composition and traffic intensity). The functional apparatus of the product is the multiparameter equations of the theory of traffic flows, taking into account transport and road conditions. Assessment of the cost and capabilities of the developed software in comparison with foreign counterparts showed the vitality of this product.

Full textAbstract:
Urban flooding has become a serious issue in most Chinese cities due to rapid urbanization and extreme weather, as evidenced by severe events in Beijing (2012), Ningbo (2013), Guangzhou (2015), Wuhan (2016), Shenzhen (2019), and Chongqing (2020). The Chinese “Sponge City Program” (SCP), initiated in 2013 and adopted by 30 pilot cities, is developing solutions to manage urban flood risk, purify stormwater, and provide water storage opportunities for future usage. Emerging challenges to the continued implementation of Sponge Cities include (1) uncertainty regarding future hydrological conditions related to climate change projections, which complicates urban planning and designing infrastructure that will be fit for purpose over its intended operating life, and (2) the competing priorities of stakeholders and their reluctance to make trade-offs, which obstruct future investment in the SCP. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) is an umbrella concept that emerged from Europe, which encourages the holistic idea of considering wider options that combine “Blue–Green” practices with traditional engineering to deliver “integrated systems of Blue–Green–Grey infrastructure”. NBS includes interventions making use of natural processes and ecosystem services for functional purposes, and this could help to improve current pilot SCP practices. This manuscript reviews the development of the SCP, focusing on its construction and design aspects, and discusses how approaches using NBS could be included in the SCP to tackle not only urban water challenges but also a wide range of social and environmental challenges, including human health, pollution (via nutrients, metals, sediments, plastics, etc.), flood risk, and biodiversity.

Full textAbstract:
Developed nations are implementing initiatives to transform the delivery of primary care. New models have been built around multidisciplinary teams, information technology and systematic approaches for chronic disease management (CDM). In Australia, the General Practice Super Clinic (GPSC) model was introduced in 2010. A case study approach was used to illustrate the development of inter-disciplinary CDM over 12 months in two new, outer urban GPSCs. A social scientist visited each practice for two 3–4-day periods. Data, including practice documents, observations and in-depth interviews (n=31) with patients, clinicians and staff, were analysed using the concept of organisational routines. Findings revealed slow, incremental evolution of inter-disciplinary care in both sites. Clinic managers found the facilitation of inter-disciplinary routines for CDM difficult in light of competing priorities within program objectives and the demands of clinic construction. Constraints inherent within the GPSC program, a lack of meaningful support for transformation of the model of care and the lack of effective incentives for collaborative care in fee-for-service billing arrangements, meant that program objectives for integrated multidisciplinary care were largely unattainable. Findings suggest that the GPSC initiative should be considered a program for infrastructure support rather than one of primary care transformation.

Full textAbstract:
Context. A Smart city is intended as a city able to offer advanced integrated services, based on information and communication technology (ICT) technologies and intelligent (smart) use of urban infrastructures for improving the quality of life of its citizens. This goal is pursued by numerous cities worldwide, through smart projects that should contribute to the realization of an integrated vision capable of harmonizing the technologies used and the services developed in various application domains on which a Smart city operates. However, the current scenario is quite different. The projects carried out are independent of each other, often redundant in the services provided, unable to fully exploit the available technologies and reuse the results already obtained in previous projects. Each project is more like a silo than a brick that contributes to the creation of an integrated vision. Therefore, reference models and managerial practices are needed to bring together the efforts in progress towards a shared, integrated, and intelligent vision of a Smart city. Objective. Given these premises, the goal of this research work is to propose a Smart City Integrated Model together with a Smart Program Management approach for managing the interdependencies between project, strategy, and execution, and investigate the potential benefits that derive from using them. Method. Starting from a Smart city worldwide analysis, the Italian scenario was selected, and we carried out a retrospective analysis on a set of 378 projects belonging to nine different Italian Smart cities. Each project was evaluated according to three different perspectives: application domain transversality, technological depth, and interdependences. Results. The results obtained show that the current scenario is far from being considered “smart” and motivates the adoption of a Smart integrated model and Smart program management in the context of a Smart city. Conclusions. The development of a Smart city requires the use of Smart program management, which may significantly improve the level of integration between the application domain transversality and technological depth.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable urban development (SUD) requires a balance between economic growth, social well-being, and environmental protection. Oftentimes, urban policy makers can hardly fulfill all SUD goals due to inadequacy of resources to support SUD programs. Therefore, the process of allocating scarce resources to achieve and balance various SUD goals becomes a critical challenge for policy makers and researchers. To solve this problem, this study adopts fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Situation (TOPSIS) to assess and rank different indicators of SUD and evaluate different cities in an emerging economy (Vietnam). Fuzzy methods exhibit more advantages than traditional ranking methods. Fuzzy AHP is an extension of AHP, whereas fuzzy TOPSIS is an extension of TOPSIS. Fuzzy methods are used to overcome disadvantages of traditional methods and are beneficial techniques for solving complicated decision problems with a realistic solution. Using a valid sample data of ten experts in the field of SUD, empirical results show that education, healthcare, quality of life, and social democracy are the most important indicators of SUD. By contrast, social diversity, social maturity, and energy consumption are the least important indicators of SUD. For social sustainability, social democracy and quality of life are the two most important criteria, whereas social maturity and social diversity are the two least important criteria. For economic sustainability, education and healthcare are the two most important criteria, whereas infrastructure and income are the two least important criteria. For environmental sustainability, water quality and waste disposal are the two most important criteria, whereas energy consumption and ecological conservation are the two least important criteria. Furthermore, fuzzy TOPSIS results reveal the best and the worst cities in Vietnam with regard to overall SUD and its three components. This study provides evidence for researchers and policy makers to better understand the importance of different goals of SUD and efficiently allocate scarce resources to achieve and balance different SUD goals. Furthermore, researchers and policy makers should further focus on indicators such as social democracy, quality of life, education, healthcare, water quality, and waste disposal. These indicators will help obtain the goals of SUD.

The aim of the study is to assess the availability of urban space for people with limited mobility (PLM). Research objectives: - assessment of urban areas - determining the level of accessibility of the urban environment by assigning accessibility indices to certain territories (quarters); - testing using the example of separate quarters of the city of Arkhangelsk. Two non-adjacent city blocks located in its central part were selected for testing. According to the results of the study, it is possible to conclude that the availability of the urban environment for PLM in the selected quarters is: 37.2% for the first quarter, 42.1% for the second quarter. There is no comprehensive infrastructure suitable for PLM in the territory. Among the main problems are poor coating of footpaths, barriers in the form of curbs, the absence of railings on stairs, canopies and ramps, as well as the lack of equipped recreation places. A feature and advantage of the method is that the purpose of the study is not just a description of the quality characteristics of accessibility, but the determination of specific indicators of the security of various complex components of a comfortable urban environment. Integrated monitoring of the quality of the urban environment for PLM will allow the implementation of targeted programs and activities, taking into account their relevance to the expected effects. This contributes to the prudent use of financial resources. The totality of development programs and measures for individual territories will determine the development strategy of the city as a whole.

Introduction. In the field of implementation of integrated programs of housing construction as a promising direction from the point of view of solution of the most important problems of modern development of the construction industry (intensive growth of urban areas, low quality and high cost of new housing, poor infrastructure), the key task has been set: rationale of the characteristics of the complex of construction sites taking into account interrelations between the number and characteristics of residential buildings and infrastructure facilities. Based on the results of the analysis of the relevant scientific literature, the conclusion was made that the existing tools are limited and fully take into account the key features of the implementation of integrated programs of housing construction. Relevance of research which objective is development of a method of substantiation of characteristics of a complex of construction sites is substantiated.
Materials and methods. The organizational and process characteristics method of the complex of construction sites on the basis of linear fractional programming, which implies the determination of the optimal number of housing construction sites and infrastructure facilities in the context of different instances and categories by the criterion of maximizing the profitability index of the corresponding construction project was developed. The key elements of the developed method are optimization models, which are linear relatively unknown variables and therefore implemented using simplex method in modern software environments of optimization modeling.
Results. The developed method is implemented on a practical example using Microsoft Excel software environment and the “Solution Finder” add-in. As a result of performance of corresponding calculation procedures, concrete values of quantity of sites and infrastructure facilities within the limits of the building project have been received.
Conclusions. On the basis of adequate results obtained from the implementation of the proposed methodology on practical example, the conclusion was made about the high practical significance of the developed tool. The main shortcomings of the developed method are revealed, connected with the absence of consideration of factors of influence of features of a transport infrastructure and technological resources within the limits of construction procedure on characteristics of the project. In order to eliminate the identified shortcomings, it is planned to improve the methodology at further stages of the research.

Full textAbstract:
Duran is a coastal city located in the Guayas Estuary region in which 24% of urban sectors suffers from the effects of chronic flooding. This study seeks to assess the causes of Duran’s vulnerability by considering exposure, population sensitivity and adaptive capacity to establish alternatives to reduce its vulnerability to flooding. An operational framework is proposed based on the vulnerability definition of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and applying a census-based Index of Vulnerability, a geographic information system and local knowledge of urban development. A Principal Component and equal weighting analysis were applied as well as a spatial clustering to explore the spatial vulnerability across the city. A total of 34% of the city area is mapped as having high and very high vulnerability, mostly occupied by informal settlements (e.g., 288 hectares). Underlying factors were poor quality housing, lack of city services and low adaptive capacity of the community. However, some government housing programs (e.g., El Recreo), with better housing and adaptive capacity were also highly vulnerable. Limited urban planning governance has led to the overloading of storm water and drainage infrastructure which cause chronic flooding. Understanding the underlying causes of vulnerability is critical in order develop integrated strategies that increase city resilience to climate change.

This study aims to assess the impact of flash floods in the Wadi Nu’man basin on urban areas, east of Mecca, which are subjected to frequent floods, during the period from 1988–2019. By producing and analyzing the maps of the regions, an integrated approach to geomatics and hydraulic modelling is employed. The following maps are used: Flood-prone urbanity from 1988–2019, a flood risk map of Wadi Nu’man based on a risk matrix map, and a map of the proposed protection measures and alternatives in the study area. In order to achieve these goals, changes in the land use in the Wadi Nu’man basin were monitored by analyzing successive satellite images, taken by the US satellite, Landsat, in 1988, 1998, 2013, and 2019. Using a supervised classification, with the maximum likelihood method of ERDAS IMAGINE 2016, GIS was used in the production and analysis of soil maps, and geological and hydrological groups of drainage basins, as well as the hydrological model (HEC-HMS), were applied in calculating the hydrograph curve of the Wadi Nu’man basin. The flood water volumes and flow rates were estimated based on the SCS unit hydrograph, and the rain depth was analyzed and estimated for different periods. The hydraulic modeling program (HEC-RAS) was employed, when developing a two-dimensional model to calculate the speed, depth, and spread of the flood, in order to apply the risk matrix method. The recommendations based on this study give priority to the implementation of a flood prevention plan and the protection of infrastructure by maintaining the existing flood drainage facilities and establishing new drainage facilities to protect lives, property, and infrastructure.

The Europe 2020 strategy and the Horizon 2020 program can begin a real path about the role that the city will be able play for a new development. Usually, it is in the cities that are intensifying tangible and intangible social relations and, given that they focused almost 70% of the world population, it is clear that the city must begin to start any development scenario: the problems / opportunities related to the management of natural resources, energy to move. The culture is a «primary factor of urban creativity (...), the city's identity that has its roots the program schedule of history and extends its branches in the future» [4], awaiting a new model of development local self-sustainable combining protection, conservation, enhancement of resources and economic recovery. In Sicily, the small cities are located, mostly, in the inland, hilly or mountainous areas, where live, again, abandonment, isolation and fragmentation, unlike the coastal urban area, more dynamic, includes the metropolitan areas and the most important towns. In this context, we examined the case of the region in Agrigento. The present study was conducted on all municipalities but not on those outermost and peripheral areas which are more distant from the pole and longer subject to the problems typical of these areas. The vision proposes a multi-layered and multi-dimensional territory characterized by infrastructure networks, networks of settlement, economic and social formations, set up with a multi-scale approach as required by the paradigm of sustainability, «a regional strategy for the medium-long-term» and, on the small scale, the answer «to ad hoc needs». In the case of the region of Agrigento, it is more appropriate deal in about the mobility and not about the transport, to move from a logic of exclusive government of the offer, a demand, through projects and policies that promote use integrated soil, actions to promote intermodality, projects to improve the construction of circuits safe mobility. To start virtuous dynamics of their cooperation, therefore, the contribution aims to intervene with a reticular approach, with a strong identity value, leading to a free physical and virtual so that, combining protection, exploitation of resources, services and economic development, in such small municipalities be returned liveability and attractiveness.

Full textAbstract:
The trend towards affordable, green housing highlights the need for a Green Affordable Housing (GAH) model that produces durable dwellings that are not significantly more expensive to build, cheaper to operate, healthier for their occupants, and more environmentally sound. The model should also reduce the risk of poverty for those with low and moderate incomes, be close to public transportation, and support a neighborhood that is healthy, walkable and connected to the broader community and natural environment. This case study utilized detailed interviews with occupants, town officials, a developer, and a design builder to explore how green building strategies could be applied in real-world communities with the help of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and contributions from other funding bodies. Focusing on the Roanoke and Lee Street housing project in Blacksburg, Virginia (VA), this study demonstrated how green building strategies can be integrated into affordable housing with help from public programs and incentives to provide houses that are more durable, no more expensive to build, cheaper to operate, healthier, more environmentally sound and less risky for their occupants. The new framework includes ways to deal with neighborhood issues such as the deterioration of housing stock and infrastructure to support the creation of a vital and healthy neighborhood with improved public services and community spirit, as well as providing an integrated design process framework that enables stakeholders to work together to achieve the goal of building green and affordable housing.

This paper concerns transportation planning with a specific focus on the regional level. In the context of spatial and transport integrated planning, the paper proposes a structured and systematic identification of the plans. At the European level, specific indications, prescriptive communications, and finalized funds are given to the national infrastructures by means of the TEN-T plan and program, while a Communication and specific guidelines for the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan have been published as a useful tool to uniform and compare urban transport planning. However, there are no indications for the planning of transport at the regional scale. This paper focuses on regional transport plans, analyzing the general contents and deepening and comparing the contents related to public transport. A case study of Italy is presented. Reference is made to the national guidelines and therefore to the transport plans approved in Italy by the regions. The Italian experience, and the results evidenced, could be a valid reference for all European or extra-European regions or, in any case, for intermediate territorial planning between the national and local ones.

Full textAbstract:
Classification systems can be useful for evaluating and communicating the impact of interventions. We describe how a typology was created to inform the development of a community intervention dose index (CIDI) intended to measure the strength of impacts attributed to multiple childhood obesity intervention strategies implemented in a large, diverse urban jurisdiction in the United States during 2000–2016. The categorization system was constructed via a three-stage process: (Stage 1) identify relevant constructs for categorizing intervention strategies; (Stage 2) review peer-reviewed literature and program requests for proposals to identify and integrate common attributes of intervention strategies based on Stage 1 constructs; and (Stage 3) vet the results from prior stages to develop a final version of the typology, slated for research application and for use in program improvement. The final system grouped strategies into four macrolevel and five microlevel categories. Macrolevel strategies included government/public institutional policies, infrastructure investments, and business practices. Microlevel strategies included group education, counseling, health communication and social marketing, home visitation, and screening and referral. Grouping intervention strategies in a purposeful, classified manner facilitated communications among researchers and practitioners during the gathering and quantifying of intervention data for the CIDI project and may be used to guide scarce public health resource allocation decisions.

Other features of the modern Russian rural society include the weakening of the position of agriculture itself, the increasing diversity of rural employment, the formation of rural-urban labor markets, all of which are directly related to the saturation of rural areas with urban residents, which gives impetus to the use of innovative forms of investment activity in the social sphere of emerging rural agglomerations. At the same time, the tasks set in the new State Program "Integrated Development of Rural Territories" (the beginning of implementation of which falls on January 2020) are not large-scale both to the existing networks of rural social services, and to the system of rural settlement and the nature of demographic processes in rural areas of Russia. There is an institutional imbalance, in which the management of the infrastructural development of the rural sociosphere is extremely difficult, and requires the introduction of new mechanisms, including related. The purpose of the study is to summarize the domestic and foreign experience of creating multifunctional public centers in rural areas, as well as to identify the possibility of realizing their investment potential. It is shown that the functioning of multifunctional public centers is an effective method for improving the quality of life of the rural population in the socio-cultural, socioeducational, social and leisure, social and household, tourist and educational spheres. The generalization of foreign experience allows us to distinguish centers by their functions (on the basis of educational institutions, cultural institutions, leisure centers); by spatial solution (in one building or several buildings); by location in a settlement (in the center of a settlement, near a transport hub, in an inter-settlement equidistant space). The domestic experience of providing multidisciplinary services to the rural population is primarily associated with two integrated approaches, when the resource-based approach.

The future is a predictable yet uncertain period of time. Every human being in this world will always try any possible things to survive and try to make their existence real, this behavior is called dwelling. Architecture comes in form of buildings and space as a place for human to dwell. The way human dwell will always change following their environment and follow the development of technology. Technology has become the biggest driver in the change of human evolution, every sector of human life keeps revolving and try to adapt to the development of technology for hope of a better life. A city is one of the product of this evolution, a place considered modern and high-technology, but with the imbalance between the technology development, infrastructure, and human needs, a city also generate some problems. A city as an area also has an effective number of population density for it to work effectively. The more densely populated a city is, the bigger the need of a housing buildings. Because of the incapability to provide a proper and affordable housing in the city, the irregular housing development plan around the periphery of the city is spreading, causing a phenomenon called urban sprawl. The project Integrated Housing has a goal to transform the existing urban sprawl area to be more compact and effective. Through pragmatic approach, this project will be focusing on users’ needs, effective space used, and integrated programs which wil be achieved by analysing people’s needs and way of life today and tomorrow. Another goal is to also pay attention and to lessen the negative impact of urban sprawl to the environment to achieve a sustainable future. Keywords: Dwelling; Environment; Future; Technology; Urban sprawl.Abstrak Masa depan adalah bingkai waktu yang tidak pasti, namun dapat diprediksi. Setiap manusia yang hidup di dunia ini mencoba melakukan segala hal untuk dapat bertahan hidup dan mencoba membuat eksistensinya nyata, sikap ini juga disebut berhuni. Arsitektur hadir dalam bentuk bangunan atau ruang yang dirancang untuk mewadahi kegiatan berhuni manusia. Cara manusia berhuni selalu berubah mengikuti lingkungannya dan mengikuti perkembangan penemuan teknologi. Teknologi telah menjadi pendorong terbesar dalam perubahan evolusi manusia, segala sektor kehidupan terus berputar dan beradaptasi dengan teknologi demi mendapatkan kehidupan yang lebih mudah. Sebuah kota adalah hasil dari perkembangan evolusi manusia ini, sebuah tempat yang dianggap canggih dan modern, namun karena ketidakseimbangan antara perkembangan teknologi, infrastruktur, dan kebutuhan manusia, kota juga menimbulkan beberapa permasalahan. Kota sebagai sebuah area dengan batasan pengembangan memiliki sebuah batas kepadatan yang efektif untuk dihuni. Semakin padat, kebutuhan bangunan untuk tempat tinggal pun meningkat. Kota yang tidak mampu menyediakan tempat tinggal yang terjangkau dan layak pun mendorong terjadinya penyebaran pembangunan yang tidak tersusun ke daerah sekitar kota. Fenomena ini disebut juga sebagai urban sprawl. Perumahan Terpadu ini adalah proyek yang memiliki tujuan untuk mentransformasi area urban sprawl yang sudah ada menjadi area yang lebih kompak dan efektif guna. Dengan pendekatan pragmatis, proyek ini berfokus pada kebutuhan pengguna, efektivitas ruang dan integrasi antar fungsi yang akan dikembangkan dari hasil analisis kebutuhan dan cara hidup masyarakat saat ini dan prediksi kedepannya. Proyek ini juga mengedepankan keberlanjutan lingkungan dengan memperhatikan dampak yang dihasilkan terhadap lingkungan supaya tidak memperburuk kondisi saat ini.

The sustainable development of rural areas is an obvious and fundamental goal of the state policy of the Russian Federation. Improving the quality of life in each village, regardless of its distance from the regional center, is the main task of the regions. The article contains a termological analysis of the definition of “sustainable development of rural areas”. It was concluded that the dominant opinion of the authors on this concept is associated with a process that provides for the needs of residents of rural areas and increases their standard of living. The definition of a “mechanism for sustainable rural development” is given, which, through the methods and tools, implements the possibilities of natural, labor, material and financial resources for the effective development of rural economy. Sustainable and harmonious development of rural areas is possible only through the use of state support measures. The economic, environmental, social and demographic situation of rural areas, as well as their individuality, determine the need for continuous improvement of the mechanism of rural development through its methods and tools. The implementation of state support measures plays a significant role not only for rural residents, but also for leaders of agricultural organizations themselves. A decent and comfortable life in the village contributes to the consolidation of personnel. The importance of these aspects being recognized, the program “Integrated rural development” began to be implemented in 2020, which includes a sufficiently wide range of tools to support villages and rural residents. The program is aimed at reducing the gap in the quality of life between the rural and urban population, creating comfortable living conditions, reducing the outflow of residents from rural areas. As a result of the analysis, the potential and opportunities for the sustainable development of rural territories of Volgograd region were confirmed. These are the creation of conditions for providing villagers with comfortable housing, the development of various types of infrastructures, and the improvement of rural areas. The key directions of the mechanism for sustainable development of rural territories are identified: diversification of activities of the rural population, expansion of the possibilities of financial support for the development of rural territories through the public-private partnership involvement, improvement of preferential lending mechanisms, strengthening of grant support for rural communities for the improvement of rural territories.

Finding new pathways for reconciling socioeconomic well-being and nature sustainability is critically important for contemporary societies, especially in tropical developing countries where sustaining local livelihoods often clashes with biodiversity conservation. Many projects aimed at reconciling the goals of biodiversity conservation and social aspirations within protected areas (PAs) have failed on one or both counts. Here, we investigate the social consequences of living either inside or outside sustainable-use PAs in the Brazilian Amazon, using data from more than 100 local communities along a 2,000-km section of a major Amazonian river. The PAs in this region are now widely viewed as conservation triumphs, having implemented community comanagement of fisheries and recovery of overexploited wildlife populations. We document clear differences in social welfare in communities inside and outside PAs. Specifically, communities inside PAs enjoy better access to health care, education, electricity, basic sanitation, and communication infrastructure. Moreover, living within a PA was the strongest predictor of household wealth, followed by cash-transfer programs and the number of people per household. These collective cobenefits clearly influence life satisfaction, with only 5% of all adult residents inside PAs aspiring to move to urban centers, compared with 58% of adults in unprotected areas. Our results clearly demonstrate that large-scale “win–win” conservation solutions are possible in tropical countries with limited financial and human resources and reinforce the need to genuinely empower local people in integrated conservation-development programs.

В работе рассмотрены вопросы общественного труда и влияния институционального предпринимательства на экономику воспроизводственных процессов. Предложены новый инновационный подход к оценке возможностей предпринимательства на основе социально-инженерного развития территории с учетом отраслевой идентичности, а также организационная модель и структура управленческого консультирования. Выделены группы однородных (типовых) территорий агломерационной, индустриально-промышленной и аграрно-индустриальной направленности. Определена существенность возможностей повышения доходов консолидированного бюджета и объемов экономической деятельности. Обоснован механизм предпринимательства межрегионального государственно-частного партнерства в аграрной сфере региона. The study examined the issues of social labor and the impact of entrepreneurship on the economy of reproduction processes based on institutional theory. Analyzed business activities in the existing municipal areas of the region, as well as urban districts. The importance of entrepreneurship in the structure of employ-ment in the region is determined and the role of entrepreneurship in the development of Primorsky Krai is revealed. A new innovative approach to assessing business opportunities based on social and engineering development of the territory, considering industry identity, as well as an organizational model and structure of management consulting, taking into account existing programs aimed at maintaining and developing entrepreneurship at both federal and regional levels, are proposed. The groups of homogeneous (typi-cal) territories of agglomeration, industrial-industrial and agrarian-industrial orientation are identi-fied. The materiality of opportunities to increase revenues of the consolidated budget and the volume of economic activity has been determined. It is proposed to organize an interregional water management center for entrepreneurship. The mechanism of entrepreneurship of interregional public-private part-nership in the agricultural sector of the region is substantiated. The main purpose of the center is in-formation, legal and scientific support and provision of services, as well as investment in reconstruction and construction projects, social engineering development with the participation of public-private part-nership of Primorsky Krai. In addition, according to the results of the study, it is proposed to develop an investment infrastructure project for integrated prospective land development and reconstruction of land-reclamation facilities until 2030–2035. and the institutional mechanism of institutional entrepre-neurship of the water management complex of the agrarian sector of the Primorsky Territory.

- Considering PPP in urban projects, project financing and integrated development programs increasingly share a common economic approch and determine relevant issues as far as the relations with the general planning tools are concerned. Thanks to such urban management tools, local administrations can trade land capital gains with investiments in public infrastructures and services otherwise financed by public funds. Both tools, nevertheless, appear to be potentially in contradiction with the urban plans whose radical evolution is then necessary for an effective synergy with the emerging PPP instruments in the urban field.Keywords: Project financing, integrated programs, public private partnership.Parole chiave: Project financing, programmi integrati, partnership pubblico-privato.JEL classification: H54, H76, R52

When key decisions are made on capital infrastructure programs at the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), it is often necessary to relate maps to mental or physical images of the built environment. Multimedia tools have evolved so that such queries can be addressed using off-the-shelf software combined with innovative development techniques to achieve powerful results. A spatial multimedia system was developed for CTA. Such spatial multimedia technologies can integrate spatial representations of existing or proposed urban environments with qualitative descriptions by linking maps to static and dynamic images.

Full textAbstract:
Until recently, the design of road infrastructure involved mainly concerns related to the base speed value and to requirements ensuring a high level of service. Currently, it is widely accepted that only an integrated approach is able to take into account the interests and needs of all the involved stakeholders, namely the need of traffic fluidity by motor vehicles, and quality of life and safety associated to other users and local residents. This vision has been leading to different speed management approaches, particularly in relation to the setting of the appropriate and coherent speed limits along extensive routes. In this context, this study is part of a broader research program aimed to develop a methodology of speed management with a widespread use applied to single carriageway roads in interurban areas, crossing different road surrounding environments with varying rural, urban or mixed characteristics. More specifically, this research line is focused on the development of a decision-support methodology for the definition of the appropriate speed limit, based on the drivers’ willingness to naturally accept successive changes in the speed limits in successive stretches of the roads. This decision-making process necessarily involves a broad set of variables and factors that might be divided in two fundamental components: (1) road geometry, and (2) interaction between the road and its surrounding environment. The effect related to the geometric characteristics has already been extensively studied, thus, this paper is focused on speed limit modelling having exclusively into account the latter component, leaving geometryrelated considerations to the final decision-making process. A MultiNomial Logit (MNL) discrete choice model was developed. The modelling work was carried out using a case study involving 55.4 km and 11 km more, for validation purposes – of rural roads crossing different environments. The model was estimated based on the judgments of fourtraffic safety experts applied to each direction of each road stretch (200 m long). Before the modelling development, a factor analysis involving the whole set of variables was carried out, in order to detect not directly observable common features on its structure that may influence the final outcome of model estimation. This analysis allowed to corroborate the overall variable selection process. The developed model adjusts quite well to the data with McFadden pseudo-R2 of 0.447. Without loss of explaining power it was possible to avoid the presence of subjectivity related to a qualitative evaluation of some explanatory variables, greatly enhancing the model’s robustness and transferability to other locations and countries. The new modelling structure also facilitates the interpretation of the validation results and enables the models to be developed to represent different levels of safety related sensitivity existent amongst the expert community, by using a ‘conservative expert’ evaluation. The results validation has showed the models to be robust and useful as decision support tools applied to speed limits’ evaluation processes.

Utilities are an important part of the population's livelihood. The quality and reliability of public services determines the standard of living of the population. The provision of quality services to the population is one of the indicators of the region's development. That is why it is so important to correctly predict and develop Programs that affect the performance of public services. The main component of the successful development of housing and communal services is a competent management environment. Management in the municipal economy is a process of achieving the objectives and stated objectives by the subjects of management, through the implementation of measures on the objects of management. To implement these measures and improve the level of services provided, programs are being developed for the integrated development of municipal infrastructure systems in the territory. Program of complex development of systems of municipal infrastructure is a mechanism for the implementation of the powers of municipalities in the field of providing consumers with quality and affordable utilities, as well as a key document that determines the vector of development of engineering infrastructure in the long term (in accordance with the term of the master plan). The implementation of programs for the integrated development of municipal and social infrastructure is a mechanism for the implementation Of the strategy for the development of housing and communal services in the Russian Federation. Development of programs of complex development of systems of municipal and social infrastructure is necessary for ensuring resource saving, formation of market mechanisms of functioning of housing and communal complex, increase of level of quality and availability of services of health care and education the defining signs which should be paid attention at development of the Program, to consider them and key features of each territory are Revealed. Through the implementation of the measures included in the Program, it is possible to achieve high standards of living, the quality of public services and the maximum level of availability of services in the housing and communal sector.
